Gold and silver extended their rally across domestic and global markets, with futures prices firm on both MCX and COMEX and ETFs posting strong one-day gains. 

MCX gold was trading at Rs 1,67,199 per 10 grams, up 3.14%, while MCX silver stood at Rs 2,91,555 per kilogram, higher by 3.15%. In the international market, COMEX gold futures (GCJ6) were quoted at $5,374.3 per troy ounce, gaining 126.4 points or 2.41%, and COMEX silver futures (SIK6) were at $94.610 per troy ounce, up 1.319 points or 1.41%. The upward move in bullion prices was mirrored in ETF counters through the session.

The sharp moves in bullion markets came as the conflict between the United States, Israel and Iran escalated into a full-blown military confrontation. On 28 February 2026, joint US-Israeli strikes targeted multiple strategic sites in Tehran and other Iranian cities, reportedly killing Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and numerous military commanders, and prompting Iranian missile and drone retaliation against US and allied positions across the Gulf and the broader region.
